Speaking of relationships, I've had my fair share of crushes (read: all ended rather terribly) but I've never been in a relationship because I'm not ready for commitment and I feel like that's best left for high school. Perhaps in two-to-three years I will be. But even when I am ready I'll more than likely still have trouble getting into a relationship considering the fact that my friendship with all of my previous crushes have crashed and burn - causing me too be deathly afraid to admit my feelings to crushes anymore in order to spare myself from any possible catastrophe.

It's not just with crushes, but I have trouble in the friend department as well. I have a large circle of acquaintances, minor friends, or people who I otherwise have some sort of tie with, but a somewhat small circle of close friends and I used to wonder why. Looking back on it though, it makes sense since I basically have nada in the social skills department and I'm just awkward in general. But I still manage to attract people towards me because of my humorous and goof-off nature, and my mysterious trait. I rarely talk to people in class if I'm not close with or acquainted with, nor do I even talk to the teacher - even if I'm by people I know or am comfortable with while in a typically crowded class setting I'll quiet down more because I can't handle being around so many people. I'm also afraid of people who I'm not close with even hearing me speak, strange actually, I guess I'm just extremely self-conscious and also shakily 'fraid of others judging me - yet I also don't give two shits about others' opinions in many other cases.

I also feel like when I'm at my breaking point and paranoid that others don't like me or ar abandoning me I tend to put a tighter grip on them which might scare some off for awhile, but not permanently. Also, my quiet, introverted, and socially anxious ways both garner attention towards me and steer me clear of all attention at the same time. Some don't care for me, seeing me as more of an object rather than a human being simply because I'm awkward and they've likely never heard me speak and therefore assume that I'm boring, or even mentally retarded. Yes. They treat as if I'm idiotic simply because I don't talk - to them, at least; I talk non-stop with some. That, and of course people in middle school tend to blindly follow cliques in an attempt to be individualistic, failing to realize that they've never been less individualistic at that point - that and the price of not doing so is usually being cast off as a loner like me - so naturally many of them act as though I'm thin air.

Speaking of the clique issue, most would put me in with the ["emo"/"rebel"/"loner"/whatever the fuck sort of name you find to suit] blindly - without knowing me - since it's convenient, whereas I feel that I don't belong to any group because I cycle between them and have friends from evey group. I'm hoping high school will be an improvement but at the same time I'm fearing my ever-nearing days of high school since people of the grades ahead of me used to bully me back in sixth and seventh. That being said though, there seems to be an extreme with our superiors - most are either extremely brutal or surprisingly kind. While this is true for most grades there seems to be a much larger emphasis of that rule with them.

I think u should post that in the : Freindship, love and ect.. Topic.

[Dart]

I call it off topic and relevant to the last page, 'Cog!

[Hunchman801]

Incognito has a point, it'd be interesting to have this conversation in that topic.

[DesLife]

Well I'm not sure if the conversation would indeed be very interesting but it'd surely belong there.

Try this if you want to try phpBB3: http://www.try-phpbb.com/30x

[Adsolution]

Something interesting, try this: http://www.try-phpbb.com/30x/

I don't understand what's interesting about this.

I’ve managed to disable the phpBB demo board by messing in the demo’s admin panel.

[Adsolution]

No you haven't, it's up and running just fine. Any changes made in the demo board are entirely local.

I'm curious to see that PHP board you made that you keep talking about.

[Fifo]

No you haven't, it's up and running just fine. Any changes made in the demo board are entirely local.

Oh, I see: “Your unique demo board is tied to your IP address.”

I'm curious to see that PHP board you made that you keep talking about.

It’s actually self-hosted phpBB3, I don’t know how to make it available to the public. Feel free to help.

If you mean hosted by your own computer then you would need to use port forwarding on your router, using your existing IP. However while that may work, it'd be best to have a static IP on your plan and assign that to which ever computer you'd be hosting it from, so it never changes.

Giving the monthly rate this costs, it'd be most logical to buy a plan with a hosting service such as 1and1 or Bluehost, since their monthly rates tend to be cheaper than static IP, which also provides the best connection for a website over a home internet line, in most cases. (Please note, the rates I see are based off here in the United States, and what AT&T charges for static IPs. I'm sure it varies between ISPs.)

I will try it. Thanks for the tip!

Wow, I haven't been here for... I don't remember, maybe six months? Haha, I think nobody even remembers me. Well, my bad, I have done almostly nothing to fandom except few pictures, however I still love Rayman as much as before. I'd love to play Rayman Legends but my laptop is too bad for it, nnngghhhhhhhhh...
Anyway, hi there, everybody. I hope I won't disappear again. I am not good with forums actually, always feel shy to post on 'foreign' ones, though I am generally very talkative on the Internet, even get afraid if I bother others too much.

[Reese Riverson]

Hello there. Though I don't think I've seen you around before.

[Rendell]

Yeah, as I said I am bad with forums and don't post a lot. As it perfectly seen on my post counter.

[Adsolution]

Ah, hi Rendell, long time no see! Glad to see you back for a bit.

[Hunchman801]

Welcome back, Rendell!

Welcome back Rendell!

Hi there! Your nicknames are the ones I remember the most here.

By the way, I may have searched not well, but still - is there somewhere a topic for non-Rayman releated artworks?

Yes, right here.
